Tattoos are beautiful works of art. Whether they are tiny or large, these permanently marked illustrations give joy to the bearer. Some individuals love getting a tattoo so much, they literally fill their whole body with ink.
Well who can blame them? Tattoo art nowadays are beautifully made, you wouldn’t believe the intricate designs with amazing details. Some tattoos are so well made, you’ll think that it’s the real thing. They are just simply beautiful.
Of course, these alluring designs wouldn’t be made possible without their creators: the tattoo artist. Would you believe that every tattoo an artist makes is legally his/hers? You may have the design permanently etch on your skin, carry it around with you all your life but the design isn’t actually yours. It is definitely a different story of you made the design yourself, but if you ask the artist to make something up, it his/hers.
An aspiring tattoo artist must undergo several years of apprenticeship from a professional artist, honing their skills and learning proper techniques to get the details, colour and shading come out the right way. They must learn how deep or shallow the needle should penetrate the skin. Even the angle of the needle is learned. But probably the most important technique to learn is proper hygiene: how to sterilize instruments, which items are for single use only and the like. So don’t go to any backyard tattoo artist or even try a do it yourself tattoo kit, because you will be putting yourself at risk to certain diseases like hepatitis or even HIV.
We should also look at the tools a tattoo artist use. You may find that there are different types of tattoo machines, there’s a rotary, coil, liner, shader and pneumatic tattoo machines. All have their specific uses but all have the same purpose of pushing ink into the skin. There are also different kinds of needles. Also, there are a lot of ink choices, a lot of colors to choose from.
